SHO - Pray I'll Be A Failure lyrics

rate me

(feat. Willie D)

[Sho]

Day by day, my life seems to deeper

Cause everywhere I go I see the same fake people

I remember back in the days when thangs was tough

They wouldn't even take the time to say wassup

And my family's even worse dude

Can't stand to see me doin, better than they doin

Tryin ta keep a brother down low

They can't stand to see Sho get that little bit mo'

I guess they all on the same level

See they was born broke and they gon' die broke together

It's enough I gotta fight in the streets G

Come home and gotta fight with my family

But see I'll just learn to take it

No matter how good I do there'll someone that hate it

Thinkin of a way that they could nail me

Jealous of the next man, prayin' I'll be a failure

[Sho]

So-called friends, man I got so many

Remember the days when I didn't have any

Broke as a joke ridin the metro bus

As sure as I'm Sho, I was down on my luck

Got me a job, bought myself a new Caddie

Soon after that, my boss thought he was my daddy

On my back for every little tit tat

Mad at me because I'm ridin in a 'lac

I had to move on, before he got the nerve to fire me

Cause if he did, nobody else would hire me

Man its a shame people wanna see ya fail

But all thats swell, cause I'ma prevail so go to hell

Check me out

[Willie D]

Will used to jack, peel a suckas cap

Will used to pack, pull the trigger perhaps

Then along came rap

And I was saved from diggin myself an early grave

Or gettin locked up in an institution

Am I the problem or the solution?

Cause when I was broke it seemed everybody wanted me to raise

But now that I'm paid

They can't wait to see me fall on my face

Every time I turn around somebody on my case

I feel like a crab in a bucket

Sometimes I just wanna say...

See thats how you want me to sound

But where I'm from only failure's lay em down

Tryin' to ban rap cause it makes me wealthy

Not because the rhymes are filthy

But I know the rules of the game bein told

Tyson, Kennedy, rap, rock and roll

So come on witcha label

I'm not lettin nobody take food off my table

I'm ready, willin, and able cause I can't be stopped

But some-a y'all are brainwashed

Sittin around pointin fingers waitin on some help

Insteada tryin to do for self, yeah

Even my friends I used to count on

Lookin for a hand out insteada tryin to get they own

And if I ain't down with that

They say I'm high cappin, and actin like I'm all that

Me be a loser, is what they want

I'm damned if I do, damned if I don't

So keep prayin for my downfall

But I'm here to tell ya WIllie D won't be another failure

Yeah, Wize Up on the rise up

And we gon' continue to get ours

Cause we gon' do whatever it take, yeah

Either roll with us, or we gon' roll right over ya

Don't make me no difference
